"No comment," said Knights head coach Ed Lopez after the game, still looking off in the direction of the officials. "That game should have gone to overtime."

The second half of the game looked entirely different from the first as the Cowboys moved the ball better and held on to possession.

"They were intimidated in the first half," said Savage of his team. "I yelled at them at halftime, saying, ‘Get out of it. You are just as good as this team if not better. The way we are going to win is going to be off a set play.' I believe a PK is a set play."

The first half featured lackluster play on both ends of the pitch, as neither team was able to get anything going consistently.

"I thought we would blow this team out - a third place team from another league," said Markovich, noting that he thought the Cowboys came into the game a little bit "cocky."

However, the Cowboys also came into the game accustomed to close contests.

The experience gave them the edge.

"We've been in a lot of close games and we've always gotten out them," Markovich said. "We're just used to it."
